That's the Kind We Use PROCLAMATION. Thursday, November Twenty-Sixth Designated by the President. I By the President of the United Stales of America, a Proclamation: 'the season is at hand when, according to" the custom of our people, it falls upon the President to appoint a day of praise and thanksgiving to God. ; During the last year the Lord has dealt bountifully with us, giving us ! peace at home and abroad, and the' ! chance of our citizens to work for their welfare unhindered by war, famine or plague. It behooves us not only to rt»- i joice greatly because of what has been given us, but to accept it with a solemn sense of responsibility, realizing that under Heaven it rests with us ourselves ' to show that we are worthy to use aright what has thus been intrusted to our care. In no other place and at no other time has experiment of government of the people, by the people, tor the people, been tried on so vast a scale as nere in our own country in the opening years of the twentieth-century. Failure would not only be a dreadful thing for us, but a dreadful thing for all mankind, bo- 1 cause it would mean loss of hope for all who believe in the power and the ! righteousness of liberty. Therefore, in thanking God for the |, mercies extended to us in the past, we j beseech Him that lie may not withhold them in the future, and that our hearts | may be roused to war steadfastly for j good and against all the forces of evil, ! public and private. We pray for strength and light, so that in the coming years we may with cleanliness, fearlessness and wisdom do our allotted work on the earth in such manner as to ahow that we are not altogether unworthy of the 1 blessings we have received. Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, do] hereby designate as a day of general i thanksgiving, Thursday, the twenty- , sixth of the coming November, and do recommend that throughout the land J people cease from their wonted occu-' nations, and in their several homes and places of worship render thanks unto j Almighty God for His manifold mer- j cies. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United .States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington this thirty-first day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and three, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and twenty •eighth.

LONG'S FRIDAY AND SATURDAY SPECIAL SHOE SALE Lizzie Evans, foremost among the popular comediennes of the stage is the important attraction announced for Monday, Nov. 16th, in a plav that has met with two seaeons's continued success, 4'At Cozy Corners." The play is by two New Yorkers, Pauline Phelps and Marion Short, and from accounts of their work, they have given the stage an ideal play of the "heart to heart" sort. When "At Cozy Corners" was presented in Springfield, Mass., recently, critics of both morning papers simultaneously said that it was the best New Knglaud plav ever presented there. This is not saying that "At Cozy Corners" is a play I of the "hayseed" order, for it is not. | The scenes are confined to the lawn of I the little Congregational Church, where an ice cream festival is in progress, to j the library and dining room of the par; son's home, and the interior of the 'church. The characters in the plot include "Claudia," of the concert stage, known in private life as Avis Herrill; the young minister of Cozy Corners Con; gregational Church,Clydellollister, and an unprincipled manager of concert i stars, Max Hargoff, Deacon Petti hone a ! hyprocritical and narrow minded old i skinflint. There is a servant, Amanda, | who works out "for accommodation only," Sophronia Anderson, "who tfig- I gles" in every changeful mood, Mrs. j Deacon Bartlett, a buxon "pillar" in the church, and other characters that go to complete a series of the eccentric types usually found in small New England villages. There is mirthful diversion furnished by Bob Bartlett and his sweetheart Sophie, who have seen a minstrel show down in Springfield and take to dancing. These characters are assumed by a really clever duo of dancers, John and Mamie Hennings, whose performance is one of the features of tin* play. Not the least among the enjoyable surprises is the Cozy Corners Boy Quartette, composed of little chaps in knickerbockers whose singing of popular songs have made them famous. The following is a communication which was written by a venerable citi- I zen of Marchandconcerning the life and character of Frederick W. Peffer, an [ account of whose death appeared in j last weeks Spirit: "Mr. Pener was a i loving husband; a kind and indulgent father; an honorable and highly respected citizen; a man among men, whose | stability of character and integrity were of the highest type. In early childhood I he gave his heart to (tod, united with the j Evangelical Church and remained a I consistent and persistent member until I the end. He wns a pillar in the church, I Sunday School ana V. P. A.; always active; always willing to advance the cause of the church; always at his post; the blasts of winter or the heat of summer daunted him not to travel more than two miles to his devoted place of worship. His accustomed pew is vacant now; his lips are silent; his prayers, his exhortations, his admonitions have ceased; but the influence that they have left are potent still and will endure throughout the countless cycles of time. A short time before his death he said to his minister, Rev. Faust, that his lifework was ended and that he was fully reconciled to go; but if it should be the will of his Heavenly Father to spare him a few years longer he would employ those years in faithful work in His vineyard. When his lips had already grown silent, and his spirit was hovering on the verge of eternity, In- pressed his son Woodward's hand in last farewells, once for a kind and noble wife and once each for his five devoted sons.

Robert 10. Lcwin, of Plaintield, New Hampshire, a student at the Baltimore Medical College, droppetl tleatl while playing right guard for the college team in a game of football at Annapolis on Wednesday October 22. Lewin w as an athlete ami had not been injured in the game. His death, according to the statement of the physicians who made a post mortem examination, was due to heart failure, and would have occurred in any case of over exertion or excitement. Harry Gessler, son of W. S. Gessler, of this place, who is a student at the Baltimore Medical College, was playing left half back for the Baltimore team when the accident occurred. In its report of the game the Baltimore American has this to say of the Punxsutawnev boy: "Gessler, of the Brooklyn professional baseball team, who playea left halfback for the Medicos and his splendid ground gaining, washhe feature of the game." Too Great a Risk. In almost every neighborhood someone has died from an attack of colic or cholera morbus, often before medicine could be procured or a physician summoned. A reliable remedy for these diseases should be kept at hand. The risk is to great for anyone to take. Chamberlain's Colic, Cfholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has undoubtedly saved the lives of more people and relieved more pain and suffering than any other medicine in us. It can always be depended upon.
